Canada and India have expelled top diplomats from each other’s countries amid growing tensions over a Canadian investigation into the killing of a Sikh activist in British Columbia that Canada says may be linked to the Indian government – an accusation that India rejected as “absurd” on Tuesday.
Trudeau said in Parliament on Monday that Canadian intelligence agencies have been looking into the allegations after Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gunned down on June 18 outside a Sikh cultural centre in Surrey, British Columbia.
